Sarah Hoopes

I post my teenage diary entries from fifteen years ago and older. Because fifteen years is a great filter. Then I comment on them as my present day self.

Oh. How old are you now?
I am always today’s date minus January 2, 1978.

What about Mortified? And OPB’s Think Out Loud? The Ironstag Hour?
You know I love Mortified. Here’s a video of me reading at Portland Mortified Fall 2008. And here’s me on OPB’s Think Out Loud with Kevin Sampsell and Ben Yagoda.

Any other new projects we should know about?
I am very excited to soon launch foodispretty.com. And in lastly, I recently migrated my professional blog, extracred.it to blogger.

How long have you been doing this diary thing?
I started posting my 1987 diaries (age 9) on my Myspace blog in 2006. My goal is be posting daily the same day and month entry from fifteen years ago or older. I try not to read ahead so that the past is unfolding at a rate equal to that of my daily posting.

I want more!
Well, okay: Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pandora, and more to come. Oh, I also play Second Life from time to time but have no idea how to connect you to that weird, weird place.

What’s next?
I’m always up to reading funny bits from the diaries for you and your friends (see “What About Mortified?” above), especially if you give me a theme like “unrequited love” or “make-out dreams.” I’ve been working with the fantasy of teaming up with an illustrator to produce tiny graphic novellas. Oh, I also write about writing about naughty things here. Yours, @sarahhoopes & sarah.e.hoopes[at]gmail[dot]com.
